It's actuality less about Euler's Gamma constant than about logarithmic functions and related. Prime Numbers and their relation to Riemann's Zeta Function and the Li Function are covered and constitute a significant portion of the book. Much of this territory parallels mathematical portion of John Derbyshire's "Prime Obsession"; another excellent book! Havil does not delve much into the personalities behind the mathematics, as Derbyshire does. Havil's approach is also more mathematical; at a minimum the reader should have a good familiarity with Calculus. For a math hobbyist, the book gives lots of hints that can be used for calculating by computer esoteric functions such as the prime counting function Pi(n). Other topics are covered as well, for example Benford's law which posits that the first significant digit of numbers seen in everyday life -- such as street addresses -- are counter-intuitively not uniformly distributed but instead distributed -- you guessed it -- in a way related to logarithms. Really a wide ranging discourse on everything logarithmic, Euler's Gamma being one of them! A great read for the mathematically inclined! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Equations too tiny to read *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2018* I am a fan of Havil. And rate this book highly, but I just ordered a print edition because this kindle edition has math too tiny to read without zooming each individual entry -- which is a pain. It appears to me that whoever created the kindle edition never checked his work. I'm surprised that the author hasn't insisted on a fix. I'd complain to amazon, but I've misplaced Bezo's email address. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fine work on Gamma in general. But a difficult read at times, and more ties to how and why the constant is useful would help. *by W***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2016* Like all of Havil's many mathematics books this one is excellent. It is presented at a level that is very high, however, by which I mean that he assumes a pretty thorough grounding in Calculus and Differential Equations -- a better one, evidently, than I acquired, albeit it 40 years ago, as an undergraduate Mathematics major at the U. of Chicago. I wish the book had more graphics and examples to clarify the most difficult concepts, as well as a fuller explanation why knowing about gamma and its associated functions allows one to do important things, both with respect to other mathematics and with respect to problems that arise in the everyday world --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/112911574-gamma-exploring-eulers-constant-princeton-science-library](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/112911574-gamma-exploring-eulers-constant-princeton-science-library) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
